Elementary and secondary students who meet eligibility criteria may qualify for reduced-price meals. SBISD’s Child Nutrition Services Department serves more than 1.7 million breakfasts and more than 4.1 million school lunches each school year.

Weekly menus will be posted online this year for review and family planning.

Menu options and related nutritional information may be found at the Child Nutrition Service website, too. SBISD participates in the National School Lunch Program and offers the School Breakfast Program in qualifying schools.

Applications for free and reduced-price meals should be completed online and submitted as soon as possible at the beginning of the new school year.

These applications may also be completed and submitted at campus locations.

Families are encouraged to use the school district’s prepayment options for meals, including an online payment option. Cashiers accept cash or checks on site, but families may also use a credit or debit card to pay for meals online, or pay by using a traditional checking account.

To access the online payment system or submit applications, please visit the district’s Child Nutrition Services website at www.springbranchisd.com/cns and follow payment directions.

It operates under the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program with policies and direction from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas Department of Agriculture.
